Robin S and Young Grey have created an absolute gem of a song that will have people reminiscing about the good old days while still feeling fresh and new. A true ode to the 90s era, this track will be on repeat for weeks to come.
The new collaboration shows hooks that will stay with you for days, with lyrics that do justice to the original. Every element fits perfectly, from the beat that opens the track to how the two artists share verses and complement each other’s skills.
Opening with a panorama of the nighttime Nashville skyline, Young Grey embraces the twilight feeling with “Live Tonight (feat. Robin S.).” The conversational attitude that the duo brings feels masterful. Her powerful vocals, alongside the casual cool of Young Grey, add nicely to the contract between the two. They touch upon the classic house style alongside the house/rap hybrid approach that has recently become popular. Thus, there does seem to be a great deal of flexibility.
They traverse the nighttime, going from place to place. It has a celebratory spirit of Nashville nightlife, something often overlooked compared to cities like Atlanta, New York, and Chicago. Within this, they neatly frame up the beautiful clubs, which possess a tremendous amount of history within their halls. Plenty of the visuals reflect the joy and discovery that the night brings. Going through the city in a convertible adds to the intrepid sense of place, with the distinctive look of the architecture and the spirit of their surroundings in full view. Color-wise, they take heavily from a late-night palette, including streaks of purple and pink going cutting through the darkness. Production-wise, the cuts from place to place have a playful disposition, nicely aligning with the carefree attitude of the lyricism. The two of them on the dance floor, at the bar, all these places seemingly summarize the perfect night out.
“Live Tonight (feat. Robin S.)” has a spirited, conversational presence as Young Grey goes for an old-school meets contemporary cadence.
